[ITP] cross-pkg-config

In cygport git master, I changed how cygport uses pkg-config when
cross-compiling.
While pkg-config isn't technically a target tool (its configure doesn't
accept --target), using the plain pkg-config for cross-compiling
requires setting several environment variables. While this is easy
within the confines of cygport, it's not practical for independent usage.
Instead, pkg-config can be configured at build time with several options
to behave like a target tool by default, and PKG_FIND_PKG_CONFIG
actually uses AC_PATH_TOOL to find PKG_CONFIG. Hence, Fedora provides
such packages for the mingw-w64 toolchains, as do I for my Cygwin
toolchains there.
Therefore, as of commit af8971d, cygport now requires a $host-pkg-config
for cross-toolchains. These packages should be built with
toolchain.cygclass and configured as such:
> --disable-host-tool
> --program-prefix=${TOOLCHAIN_TARGET}-
> --with-pc-path=${TOOLCHAIN_LIBDIR}/pkgconfig:${TOOLCHAIN_DATADIR}/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
> --with-system-include-path=${TOOLCHAIN_INCLUDEDIR}
> --with-system-library-path=${TOOLCHAIN_LIBDIR}
I already have packages for the cygwin and mingw-w64 cross-toolchains.
I intend to upload these in the next few days, after which I should be
ready to ship a new version of cygport.
